CUSTOMER UPDATE SEPTEMBER 2022
For the past 2 years GG_Supersounds has been listing records that in the main are in Mint or very close to it condition. We continue to track down and list the very best records that we are able to for our ever growing customer base For those that have been with us over that period of time will know that there are two business partners listing on the site. One from Horsham and the other from Bognor Regis From time to time this has been confusing for our customers as there often 2 invoices to pay where purchases are made from different locations by one customer To rectify this we have decided that the Horsham location will continue to list on GG_Supersounds, whilst the Bognor Regis location will now list on GG-Superstuff.
IT WILL STILL BE POSSIBLE TO BUY FROM BOTH LOCATIONS AND HAVE COMBINED SHIPPING, BUT THIS WILL BE RELIANT OF THE TWO OF US MEETING UP, AND WILL THEREFORE USUALLY TAKE MORE TIME, BUT IT IS DO-ABLE
Nothing Else Changes - Still the same superb selection of the best records will be available


For the protection of all concerned we only send signed for and tracked and signed

REGULAR VISITORS TO OUT SITE WILL BE AWARE THAT WE HAVE BEEN LISTING A COLLECTION OF MINT RECORDS, WHICH WE OBTAINED A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO.  THESE ARE ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE OFFEREING  THE SLEEVE IN MOST CASES ARE IN MINT CONDITION AND THE VINYL IN THE SAME INCREDIBLE STATE
IT IS JUST AN IMPOSSIBILTY (OR SO WE THOUGHT) TO FIND RECORDS OF THE CLASSIC ERA IN THIS SORT OF UNPLAYED / ONE PLAY CONDITION, WITH SLEEVES TO MATCH
I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO NOW FINALLY LIST SOME OF THESE CLASSIC ALBUMS FROM THE 60'S / 70'S ALONG WITH THE COMPLETE RECORDING OF EACH RECORD, SO THAT WHEN WE SAY MINT, YOU ARE ABLE TO CONFIRM IT BY TAKING A LISTEN
Today , we  have the first  Dire Straits album up for grabs.  unplayed!!! So if you are looking for that Mint copy then this is where you will find it FULLY TEST PLAYED AND RECORDED SO YOU CAN HEAR IT BEFORE BIDDING

THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE SPACESHIP LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION. THE COLOURS ARE ALL RICH AND VIBRANT AND FULLY STRETCH INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND UNRUBBED. A CLOSE EXAMINATION OF THE SPINDLE HOLE USING A MAGNIFYING GLASS REVEALS ZERO TINY SPIDER LINES AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE

THE VINYL

THE RECORD GLEAMS LIKE NEW AND IN DAYLIGHT LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS. UNDER SPOTLIGHTS THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY NO LINES ANYWHERE. NOT EVEN WISPY SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL LINES

PLAYING THE RECORD

THE BEST EXAMPLE I HAVE EVER HAD THE PLEASURE TO PLACE ON EBAY

TOTALLY MINT AND UNPLAYED (UNTIL THIS TEST PLAY)

THE LP PLAYS THROUGH BRILLIANTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS VINYL SOUNDS 

THE VINYL PLAYS TO ABSOLUTE PERFECTION. NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND AT ANY POINT

NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE ANYWHERE, AND INCREDIBLY NO AUDIBLE STATIC EVEN IN THE LINKING GROOVES

I HEARD NO DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH

I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS PLAYTHROUGH AS MINT

PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS THOUGH

THE SLEEVE

NON LAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE

THIS IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND IN A COLLECTIBLE CONDITION. THE REASON BEING THAT THE  DELICATE CREAM WHITE SURFACE IS USUALLY FOUND VERY GRUBBY AND RING WORN. THIS ONE DUE TO THE FACT THAT IT HAS BEEN HOUSED INSIDE A PLASTIC OUTER, HAS REMAINED IN SUPERB CONDITION

THE CREAMY WHITE SURFACE IS PERFECT. NO GRIME OR HANDLING MARKS

NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE, AND ALL FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE

THERE ARE TWO MINUSCULE AND BARELY VISIBLE PRESSURE LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE . ONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE BOTH PERFECT WITH ALL OF THE CREAM COLOUR PRISTINE AND TOTALLY UNMARKED AND UNRUBBED. EVEN THE CORNER TIPS ARE UNBLEMISHED

THE SPINE IS FLAT AND FREE FROM ANY SQUASHING. AGAIN THE CREAM SURFACE IS IMMACULATE . NO COLOUR LOSS, AND PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE TYPEFACE. UNBLEMISHED ENDS

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP FROM TOP TO BOTTOM

THE REAR SURFACE HAS A VERY LIGHT SHADOW OF RECORD SHAPE WHICH ODDLY IS PINK

THE CARD PICTURE / LYRIC  INNER SLEEVE IS ALSO IN SUPERB ORIGINAL CONDITION. TOTALLY FLAT AND UNCREASED, AND NO SPLITS TO ANY OF THE SEAMS. 

I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS MAGNIFICENT SLEEVE MINT MINUS

GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
